Bill Maher is facing criticism, after his use of a racial slur during a discussion with a Republican senator on his HBO talk show Friday night. Maher was speaking with Nebraska's Ben Sasse during a segment of his "Real Time with Bill Maher" show. Sasse joked that he would like to have Maher visit Nebraska and work in the fields, which then prompted Maher to use a slur in a joke that he was a house slave. The comedian immediately waved off audience groans after his statement.
